Our results indicate that Anderson localization effects strongly stabilize such glassy behavior, while Mott localization tends to suppress it. We predict the emergence of an intermediate metallic glassy phase separating the insulator from the normal metal. This effect is expected to be most pronounced for sufficiently disordered systems, in agreement with recent experimental observations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2003-02-12T23:00:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "glassy behavior", "localization effects strongly stabilize", "mott localization tends", "anderson localization effects", "interaction-driven metal-insulator transitions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
